Synopsis:

Underground cult figure Laure Charpentier brings her controversial novels to life in this film adaptation set amongst the colourful nightlife of 60s Pigalle. George, a charismatic and adventurous young woman, born from an old, catholic family, falls in love, in her teens, with a female teacher named Sybil. Devastated by her lovers eventual suicide some years later, George embarks on an exciting and reckless journey to the depths of the Parisian nightlife. After an encounter with a very wealthy, attractive, but older woman, Odete, who offers her money and gifts in return for sexual favours, George becomes Gigola, a kind of gigolo for women only.

Hollywood prostitutes, as we know, come blessed with hearts of gold. They'll help you pay for damages to Dad's Porsche and send you on your way to Princeton, or wow your business partners then defrost your heart so you can whisk them off like fairy-tale princesses. Not so with the Parisian lady of the night featured in Gigola. Here, the hooker quickly develops into an immaculately dressed ice-maiden, breaking both hearts and noses as she plies her trade. Unfortunately the film shares much with its protagonist: it's all style with little emotional depth to offer.
